考官: Tell me a friend who you remember the most.
考生: That would be a friend with whom I grew up together, I like him because he is different, other kids played soccer while he likes to fix engine or something like that. We attended the same elementary school but went to different middle school.

考官：I would like you to describe a event you attend recently.
考生: I am going to talk about my grandparents’ wedding anniversary. They are seventy now, it’s been fifty years, so that was a special day, there were many artists and musicians in the event. That was a really fantastic event we had good meal in a big garden and also had a nice chat in the evening on balcony. My best friend came together with us. As soon as we arrived, everyone started to cry, they had not seen us for many years. There were also many gusts I didn’t recognize. Lots of my relatives came from Canada and my sister came from Australia, it was wonderful to see my grandpa this happy. The great moment for me was when my grandpa made speech, he thanked my grandma for sticking with him for these years, my mom cried at this point, he is a very good speaker, and last everybody got together for a good photo.
考官: Thank you
语言加油站
特朗普：中美贸易不公平 但是不怪中国 是美国的锅。 就在刚落幕的中美企业家签约仪式上，特朗普发表讲话这样说。我们来看下这句话该如何翻译。“Trump said the U.S. trade relationship with China is “a very one-sided and unfair one.” 注意这里one-sided的意思是失衡的意思，也就是有失公平的意思。But, he quickly added: “I don’t blame China. Who can blame a country that is able to take advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens? I give China great credit.” 如果你想说为某人点赞，那么这样表达就对了，to give credit to someone.
